 August 23rd, 2011Felicity and Chase had Back to School night at their school tonight. It’s a chance for parents to meet their children’s teachers and hear about their plans for the upcoming school year, learn about the teacher’s teaching styles, expectations, and policies, as well as ask questions. At the kids’ school, it is also the night that parents [...]        
April 11th, 2011Operation Clean Up the house had a slight regression this week, at least as far as the living room is concerned. Nick won a small battle having things the way he wants them, but I don’t expect it to last. The biggest battle is getting him to put his toys away. I also have to [...]
September 16th, 2009Okay, I’m publicly admitting it, and I’m ashamed to do so. I’m letting Nick have Fritos for breakfast. He came to me with the bag, a bowl, and a smile.

August 9th, 2009Have you ever had those days when you’re so cranky you can’t stand it? I suppose my hormones are acting up because I can barely seem to control myself today. Everybody is getting on my nerves, and I’m yelling more than normal. In the course of this day, I have made two of my children [...]
August 8th, 2009When I moved to California, I was aware of the possibility that I could experience a few earthquakes, but no one ever warned me that I would also experience hurricanes. What? No hurricanes in California, you say? I beg to differ. In fact, there are three of them I have experienced — Hurricane Felicity, Hurricane Chase, and Hurricane Nick. On [...] Tags: children, daily life, motherhood, pulling my hair out, | Category → Mommy Confessions, Mommy Tips & Tricks | 6 comments |
August 7th, 2009This summer, Thursdays have been the busy day in our household. I work in the morning and get home just in time for the kids’ swimming lessons. Chase’s is first, followed by Felicity’s. By the time we finish with their lessons and showers, it’s time for dinner, which we usually pick up on the way [...]
